E-rozprawa w postępowaniu cywilnym a prawo do sądu i możliwość obrony swych praw
E-hearing in civil proceedings versus the right to a court and the possibility to defend one’s rights

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to remote hearings in Polish civil procedure in the context of the right to a court and the right to defend one’s rights by a party to the proceedings. The aim of the article is to try to find the “golden mean”, which – when implemented in practice: 1. will be compliant with relevant regulations, including their goal of limiting the spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus; 2. it will enable all (including those digitally excluded) citizens to exercise their constitutional right to a fair trial and the right to defend their rights in the proceedings already pending; 3. it will enable the efficient operation of the courts, minimizing the risk of obstruction of the proceedings by an entity that wants it to last as long as possible to the greatest possible extent. The article is devoted to the stage of making decisions about using an on-line hearing and will not deal with the problems and risks associated with the process of conducting such hearings. The considerations are based on two legal states: before and after July 2, 2021.
